Henry appeared before State Supreme Court Judge Alex Renzi Wednesday morning with his attorney, James Vacca.

At trial, investigators testified that Henry forced his way into Chun's home on Feb. 3, 2013, tied her up, forced her to call her bank and transfer money between accounts and sign several checks. Henry took jewelry and other property and shot Chun twice in the head with her own rifle. He later moved Chun's body to Tryon Park.

Chun, a popular instructor at RIT and a well-known community activist, was found at the bottom of a ravine in the park by county maintenance workers on Feb. 6, 2013.

Henry, along with his girlfriend Natalie Johnson, 27, also stole Chun's car, the same vehicle he was riding in when his electronic GPS monitoring anklet led Rochester police to the car one day after Chun's body was found.

Johnson was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder for her role in Chun's death and in November 2013 was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison. She is currently incarcerated at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a maximum-security state prison for women in Westchester County.

Henry's own conviction followed a two-week-long trial.

A convicted felon conditionally released from prison in December 2012, Henry had lived next door to Chun for years before he went to prison at age 18 for a 2003 carjacking.
